An insulating layer is disposed on the lower substrate and is formed with a plurality of notches. Each notch has a first angled sidewall and a second angled sidewall. The second angled sidewall has an included angle from horizontal. A first reflective layer may also be provided on top of the insulating layer and extend onto the second angled sidewall.
